figures not yet checked

The tribunal dismissed the landlord's claims that the leaseholders breached their lease over the letter box, intercom, solar lights, clothes drying and patio gate, found the service charge demands not payable because they did not comply with s.21B and the lease, and made a s.20C order protecting the leaseholders from the landlord's costs being added to the service charge.
